So I had a little visitor to my office this morning. (Not this exact one, the real one was too quick for my camera..)I wondered if this was the same one that severely violated my personal space last year.
I was sitting at my desk, minding my own business mind you, and I felt a tickle on my left thigh. It was slightly more tickly than the usually 'tied-hairs' tickle or 'loose thread' tickle. Rubbed it a little and promptly forgot about it.
I sat there for at least 10 minutes. Nothing weird happening.
Tickle Tickle.
What was that?! I stood up and something shot out my right pants leg so quickly I barely saw it. Couldn't even tell what it was.
I was actually thinking, "Boy, I hope that was a mouse." We'd been seeing a lot of salamanders at the time and actually decided that I'd rather have a mouse in my pants than a salamander. I finally decided that salamanders just weren't that quick.
Not that I prefer either, but hey...if I had to choose.
So before you get started, I'm going to preempt some comments:
"Did you at least send it flowers?"
"So, she's been the only one to get in your pants lately, huh?"
"Later that day the mouse was talking to his friends, "You wouldn't believe what I saw today! Weirdest looking mouse you could imagine!"
"...I'd rather have a mouse in my pants than a salamander." Now there's a quote I didn't think I would ever see. I had a bout with mice in my house last year and that wasn't fun.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I laughed all through this. I had a mouse drown in my coffee cup last year... good thing I looked in before I took a sip!
ReplyDeletehaha! Aw, you took all the best lines!
ReplyDeleteI am trying to wrap my head around whether I'd prefer a mouse or a salamander in my pants. But as I imagine each thing I get so skeeved that my brain shuts down.
Alien: That's very much a quote I never expected to write.
ReplyDeleteAnanda: It's pretty funny now, and it's even more funny because I told my assistant about it and she Freaked. With a capital 'F'. And having a mouse drown in my coffee cup might just cure me of my coffee addiction.
Laura: It's hilarious listening to the girls in the office talk about it. At least one totally refuses to believe it.
I love AlienCG's comment! So true! I would have screamed so loudly everyone would have thought I was dying. I actually did the jump up on the chair thing when one was in my house about 20 years ago.
ReplyDeleteTrue story?? Wow!!
